    Russia on the verge of collapse needs Trump to force this through.

    But it also happens to be an almost repeat of like 6 months ago the last time he had a one sided peace deal. I wonder if Russia will no show and then do a massive attack the night of again and prove they can’t be trusted.

    Just give Ukraine all the firepower it needs and they will evict the Russians.

      They think it matters a lot. That’s why they are pushing so hard for it.

      It’s just that it’s important for their Russian donors not that it’s good for you.

    Why do the billionaires go along with Trump if he is not representing their but Russian interests?

      because many billionaires actually depend on russia at least for the massive propaganda apparatus that he posess to divide the us and europe via troll farms, bots, and russian-backed grifters, aka culture wars, from the actual enemies, taxing the billionaires. aside from some that depend on russia for natural resources.

        The US billionaires control the ranking algorithms and the filters. They control the TV stations and the newspapers. Unless everybody uses Telegram Russia can’t be that influential.

      Russian interests are oligarch interests. So he is very much representing billionaires.

      I think it’s something to do with billionaires liking the idea of truly fully being oligarchs. The Russian model brought here would validate Russia’s political state and Putin.

    Either that or Ukraine was always destined to be thrown to the side after expanding all their manpower and resources.
